It has been nearly 9 years since the last mainline BlazBlue game has come out, and even if you count from 2018's Cross Tag Battle, it has been quite a while.
Now, finally a new game is here to break the streak, even if it's not a return that most of us probably expected. Entropy Effect is a roguelike 2D action game that works off of the metroidvania format to facilitate extra replayability.
The game was available in Early Access before, and is getting very positive reception on Steam. Even though it has little to do with the main series in terms of gameplay, Entropy Effect still managed to bring forth a similar sense of spectacle and fluidity when it comes to combat, and the BlazBlue characters, strapped with the weapons and special abilities, are a perfect fit for an action game.\
If you're interested in picking the game up, it will be at a hefty 22% discount until 13th of February.
